Does anyone have any pictures of a focus (prefer SVT engine bay) with the blue silicone hose upgrades? I don't think I've ever seen anyone with it.

i only have the 2 big ones... im doing braided hoses for the rest...

I'm still trying to figure out how "dark" the blue is. I see a ton of variation in the pictures of the silicone hoses for cars. Is it the camera making the difference? Or are there that many different "shades" of blue silicone hoses?

Again, I want VERY dark, like this one:

Also check CFM, they have a set of blue or red.

I really like their 9pc kit offerings, and talked with them today via webtalk, but I just cannot tell if their hoses are "light blue". Is there only one color blue for silicone hoses, or are there many shades? I want DARK blue.

If I felt the CFM hose kit was dark blue like the samco kit I linked, I'd buy it this week. But they only have one pic, and in it the CFM setup looks "super light blue".

Here let me post comparison pics. One sec.

I think they look pretty dark.

SAMCO kit, dark blue like I want it.

CFM kit, light blue in pic on website, my only reference.

Is there a reason they are different shades? Is it the camera, not the hose? Are they actuallyu the same "darkness"? Again, I want a SUPER DARK blue hose kit to match the Imperial Blue paint.

the surroundings and background.

of course with the white background its going to be portrayed lighter, i honestly believe they are probably the same color, you can always return it.

i think it is all the same color... and that's almost a sonic blue... well the pictures i posted is the color they are so if that's to light you might want to go with the black... or you could go with i think its called safe glass or something like that they are hard lines and they are clear and you can get them is several different colors they are really cool if you get the clear and but a led in or under it so it lights up...

They have the same values...... I ran it though my photo eyedropper and compared. LOL.

I think you're good. Worst that happens is you return it.

Well sonic blue and imperial blue are very similar, maybe the hoses will match up better than I thought if you think the silicone matches sonic. I just wanted to add hoses this winter if they were going to be on par with the paint, it's just a dress up idea, no real functional gains needed as all my stock black ones are perfectly fine.

I have no idea what a photo eye dropper is, it must compare estimates of light wavelengths to generate pixel hues? Again, I would prefer to give the business to CFM as I love their shop, but I wanted to avoid a situation where I had to jerk them around and return the merchandise based on something as trivial as "color".

It's surprising that no one else has any silicone hoses in blue to post pictures of, I image-searched google, but it's hard to tell again because each car seems to have different shades of blue silicone. Did no one else buy the CFM kit for their focus? I searched the forums, and people seemedto be buying the kit back in 2008, but never any followup pics in those posts.
